Ripley’s Believe It or Not!

Set near the top of the Clifton Hill entertainment strip, Ripley's Believe It or Not! has been a fixture of the Niagara Falls tourist district for decades. Galleries wind past shrunken heads, wax figures, illusion rooms and hundreds of curious artifacts, with plenty of buttons to push and mirrors to puzzle over, making it a dependable rainy-day stop for families exploring the falls.

Admission is ticketed and the museum operates year-round, often rotating a limited-time exhibition in alongside its permanent oddities. It sits within the same Clifton Hill entertainment complex as several other attractions, so it is easy to fold into a wider day of sightseeing above the gorge.
